We call it Boxing Day.This makes it sound like a day on which everyone has a fight, but the name has nothing to do with the sport of boxing. It derives from the custom in former times of presenting servants and tradesmen with a Christmas box or gift. Here in Britain we still talk about giving the milkman or newspaper-delivery boy a Christmas box, when we mean a sum of money or present. The expression dates from the time when the money would have been put into an actual box.(Boxing Day in modern time is a quiet day. Most people are recovering from the large meals they ate the day before. The children have new toys to keep them happy, and the adults are content to watch them play.Perhaps it would be a good idea if Boxing Day actually was made to honor that sport. Then, on other days, we could celebrate Football Day, Cricket Day, Hockey Day, and so on. There are probably enough different sports to allow each day of the year to have one to itself.16. In which country is December 26th considered a special day CA. France.B. Germany.C. Great Britain.D. Italy.17. Which of the following has nothing to do with Boxing Day AA. The sport of boxing.B. Christmas boxes.C. Giving money or gifts to household helpers./D. Observing an old tradition.18. What do most people do on Boxing Day CA. They have large meals.B. They watch boxing games on TV.C. They stay home and rest.D. They go out with their children.19. Which of the following sports in NOT mentioned in the passage AA. Baseball.B. Boxing.C. Cricket.D. Football.20. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage B(speaker does not object to giving the day a new meaning.speaker puts forward the suggestion with seriousness that eachday of the year should be named for one sport.C. People usually eat too much on Christmas Day, so they prefer to havea quiet time the next day.Day is not specially celebrated anywhere in the world.Passage 3You are unique. There are billion people in the world but no other person is exactly like you. Besides people, there are millions of other living things. Every living thing is different from each other. Every living thing is a unique combination of characteristics.Why is each living thing unique Where do its characteristics come from Do people receive characteristics from their mothers and fathers How The work of Gregor Mendel was especially important to help us to answer these questions.、Mendel studied plants, especially pea plants. In some way they were all the same. For example, they all had flowers. But some had red flowers, and others had white flowers. Some were tall, others were short. Mendel was especially interested in the differences. He wondered why each plant was of certain color, shape, size. He experimented with thousands of pea plants, with a careful record. And he discovered some interesting things. He mated(杂交) different pea plants. First, he mated a red flower plant with a white flower plant. All of the offspring(后代) plants had red flowers. Mendel was curious about what happened to the white. Then he mated two of the offspring plants. Every time he did this, they produced three red plants and one white plant. There was the white again. So Mendel knew that even red plantssomehow passed on whiteness. Mendel decided that pea plants carried factors, and the parents passed these factors onto their offspring.Today we call these factors genes. Genes are tiny pieces of matter. They carry information from parents to offspring. Now we know that every person is unique and one reason for this is that every person is a unique combination of genes.21.
